Yet Another Warning

[Myka]

Most LPS corals cause my hands/fingers to go numb/tingly and slightly swollen. Particularly Euphyllia sp and the various brain corals. Most Plays will do this to me as well, but most Zoas don't (regardless of color). In fact, if I spend an hour or more messing around in the tank (stacking rock, etc) my hands/fingers will go numb/tingly and fairly swollen and will actually cause me a slight bit of asthma. The only time I ever wear gloves is when I am handling live rock at an LFS. I do wear safety glass anytime I am fragging though as I think a shot of plain ole saltwater to the eye would be irritating enough, let alone a shot of slimy coral saltwater.
